Studio Anywhere: A Photographer’s Guide to Shooting in Unconventional Locations

Book Description

What’s your definition of a photo
studio? Is it a room with a white seamless backdrop or a cyc wall?
Maybe it’s simply anywhere you’re in control of the
lighting. In a perfect world, where every day is a breezy 72
degrees with partial cloud coverage, we would all have a
5,000-square-foot studio–and the entire catalog of
B&H™ in our equipment lockups.

But the reality is that you
may have an outdated DSLR with two decent lenses (which took you
several years to save up for), and all you have at your disposal is
an unfinished basement, your garage, or the empty conference room
at your office. That’s where Studio
Anywhere comes in. With photographer Nick Fancher as your
guide, you’ll learn how to get portfolio-ready photos while
working in some of the most problematic scenarios imaginable.
Whether shooting a corporate portrait, a test shoot with a model,
or a promo shoot with a band, you’ll discover that most of
the time, there’s no need for an expensive studio–you
just have to get creative.

Studio Anywhere is
a resource for photographers to learn through behind-the-scenes
photos and lighting diagrams from a range of photo shoots–but
it doesn’t stop there. Because directing a photo shoot
involves more than simply knowing how to wield a camera or process
a raw file, Nick also lets you in on the aesthetic decisions he
makes in his signature photos, inspiring you to develop your own
vision. And, finally, he describes his Lightroom and Photoshop
workflow so you can learn how to deftly navigate
post-processing.

Shows how to create images with minimal equipment that is
within reach of anyone’s budget

Takes you through the entire shoot, from concept to lighting to
exposure to post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop
